The day before the meeting, Zhang Yansheng was informed by Yue Song that other than Grandfather Yue, she would also be meeting Yue Song's parents.
"Just pretend that you don't know." Yue Song said helplessly. "They didn't want me to tell you because they wanted to give you a 'surprise.'"
For any girl who was about to meet the man's elders, this was a shock and not a surprise.
Zhang Yansheng facepalmed. "Your parents …"
"They're like children. You'll know once you get to know them." Yue Song's tone was full of helplessness.
In comparison, he was the one who was more like a worried parent.
Zhang Yansheng laughed. "I know. Don't worry."
On New Year's Day, Zhang Yansheng arrived as scheduled. When she appeared, Yue Song's eyes lit up when she saw the three people in her family.
Zhang Yansheng presented a gift. It didn't have to be too expensive. It was enough to express her sincerity.
"I didn't know that you two were coming, so I didn't prepare anything." She said seriously. Didn't she tell her to pretend that she didn't know? That would save her trouble.
"It's okay, it's okay." Yue Song's mother was overjoyed. "It's good that you're here."
The first time they met, Grandfather Yue gave her a thin red packet. She could tell that it was a check when she squeezed it. Yue Song's parents gave her a green jade bracelet. These were all gifts for the elders when they met the younger generation for the first time.
The elders were very easy to get along with. Yue Song's parents didn't put on airs at all. They were very easy-going people. They told Zhang Yansheng about the farm they had just bought in Australia and kindly invited her to join them for a visit.
There wasn't a trace of worry or pressure between their brows that ordinary people would have. The husband and wife also gave people a feeling of telepathy. When one opened his mouth, the other would know what the other wanted to say.
Their words were humorous and even a little naive, which often made Zhang Yansheng smile.
In comparison, Grandfather Yue gave people a lot more pressure.
He was hale and hearty, and his eyes were bright. He gave people a feeling that he was very powerful.
He asked about Zhang Yansheng's previous investment in movies and whether she had made any other investments after that.
Zhang Yansheng said, "I've invested in two small projects worth millions. They're all in traditional industries that are more conservative. The returns aren't high, but they can be expected. The previous time, it was purely luck. I didn't know anything. Luck won't last forever. It's better to learn from the beginning and start from a young age. I won't invest more than ten million yuan before I graduate. "
His attitude was neither arrogant nor impatient, unlike some young people who would be so cocky when they won a small victory.
Old Master Yue looked at Zhang Yansheng with even more fervor.
Zhang Yansheng could feel the old man's satisfaction and fondness for him. However, the old man was different from Yue Song's parents. Zhang Yansheng felt that Yue Song's parents were really here to watch the fun. They didn't have any expectations or requirements for Yue Song and Zhang Yansheng.
But Old Master was different. Old Master obviously had it.
During the conversation, there were a few times when the old man's voice was about to deviate from the topic of "the future" and "the future". Every time, Yue Song would calmly interrupt him and force him to back off with his gaze.
Old Master Yue felt aggrieved. He could only put away his fantasy of four generations under the same roof so as not to frighten the little girl who had just entered university.
Zhang Yansheng pretended not to understand. Anyway, she wouldn't pick up the topic.
Strangely, Yue Song's parents didn't pick up the topic either. The two of them were obviously trying to change the topic. Normally, if the parents of the man were satisfied with the woman, wouldn't they start to urge her to get married and have children?
Without a single supporter, Old Master Yue felt like a hero past his prime. He felt even more aggrieved.
Zhang Yansheng adhered to the etiquette of a guest. She arrived at the appropriate time and had a cordial conversation with the elders. After lunch, they sat for a while and drank tea together. Then, she got up and bid farewell. She didn't drive. Yue Song had picked her up in the morning, so naturally, it was Yue Song who sent her back.
"I'm guessing that my parents are going to run away tonight," he said. "They didn't even open their suitcases. They came back just to see you. They have no intention of staying."
"Running away sounds a little …" Zhang Yansheng facepalmed.
"It's just running away." Yue Song said with certainty. "Our family has only had one child for three generations. My grandfather has always wanted them to have more children. When he saw me grow up, he wanted my parents to have another child. But my mom is so delicate. She had enough after giving birth to me. She was determined not to have another child. So, my dad ran away with her. Otherwise, why do you think they didn't want to come back to the country? It's just to avoid my grandfather. "
"My grandfather is old now. He's more anxious than before. He will definitely urge us to get married and have children soon," Yue Song said. "If you don't want to hear it, just pretend you didn't hear it. Don't bother with him. I'll block him."
Grandma said that if there was any disagreement with the elders, there was no need to argue in front of them. She could talk to Yue Song in private.
Granny also said that if he had you in his heart, he would help you block those things and wouldn't make things difficult for you. She could also understand the boy's attitude by meeting his parents.
Grandma was indeed someone who had been through this before.
Zhang Yansheng smirked. "Okay."
Yue Song then asked her about her plans for the next two days.
Zhang Yansheng said, "Xu Lichen is back. Tomorrow, I'll accompany him to Nanshan Temple to pray."
Yue Song was surprised. "He's a Buddhist?"
"Do you think he's a Buddhist?" Zhang Yansheng said, "He had a dream that he died. He was so scared that he wanted to pray to get rid of his bad luck. He's such a coward. "
Yue Song couldn't help but laugh.
They took three days off on New Year's Day. Early the next morning, Zhang Yansheng drove to Nanshan Temple in the outskirts of the mountains. First, he accompanied Xu Lichen to pray. He even donated 100,000 yuan of incense money each.
Even the abbot was alarmed. He personally came out to receive them, recorded their names, and put up a merit list. The next time the Merit Monument was engraved, it would be engraved there too.
He asked the two of them the reason for coming to pray and even personally explained Xu Lichen's dream.
"In the dream, you've already lived a life of misfortune. In reality, you'll have a new lease of life." Although the old monk wasn't greedy, he had seen too many secular people and knew what they wanted to hear. He was dressed in a monk's robe and his white beard fluttered in the wind. He had a firm grasp of his temperament and the words he spoke were philosophical. It made people feel as if they had been enlightened.
Xu Lichen was the one who felt that he had been enlightened.
He slapped his thigh. "You're right! Indeed, there's nothing that matches up in reality! I'm living a good life now! "
The shadow in Xu Lichen's heart was resolved by the senior monk. He happily went to eat vegetarian food with Zhang Yansheng. He was finally willing to tell her about his lousy dream.
Zhang Yansheng asked about many details, all of which were related to Wang Qian.
It was impossible for Xu Lichen not to be suspicious. He asked, "Why did you suddenly think of asking me about my dream and Wang Qian?"
Xu Lichen knew too much in his dream and Zhang Yansheng didn't want him to know any more.
She said, "When I saw her on Christmas Eve, I suddenly remembered the dream you were talking about. At that time, you were scared out of your wits. "
At that time, Xu Lichen was indeed scared out of his wits. He was so scared that he panicked and spoke incoherently. Zhang Yansheng had to give him a big slap in the face to calm him down.
Xu Lichen straightened his neck. "Nonsense! There's no such thing!! "
Zhang Yansheng spent money to hire a private investigator who specialized in investigating extramarital affairs and helping to catch adulterers.
It didn't sound very presentable, but it was very efficient.
"Wang Qian and Huang Zhe's mothers are cousins. The two of them are cousins. The two families have a good relationship and often interact with each other. Traces of each other's existence can be found in their WeChat Moments and QQ Spaces. " He said earnestly, "Miss Zhang, you've misunderstood the relationship between your boyfriend and his cousin. However, according to my observations, your boyfriend is indeed not very honest. He hangs out with many girls and often goes to nightclubs. I've even taken photos here … "
Zhang Yansheng packaged herself as Huang Zhe's girlfriend and asked the private investigator to investigate the relationship between Wang Qian and Huang Zhe under the guise of investigating whether her boyfriend was cheating on her. It turned out that they were really relatives.
She wasn't interested in Huang Zhe's relationship and said to the private investigator, "Recently, I've realized that my 'boyfriend' is a little strange. He knows a bunch of random people, and I suspect that they may have brought him to take drugs. Can you investigate this matter? "
The private investigator agreed.
He continued to track them for a while and told Zhang Yansheng, "Your suspicions are correct. He does take drugs, but it should still be in the early stages. There's still time to save him. "
However, Zhang Yansheng wasn't investigating this to save Huang Zhe, this piece of trash. She just wanted to confirm her suspicions.
Just as she thought, Huang Zhe hadn't fallen too deep yet. She also remembered that when they first met, Huang Zhe was just an interesting person who liked to play. Later on, he gradually changed.
If a person fell into a pit of drugs, there was always a process from taking drugs to becoming a dealer.
Zhang Yansheng didn't hide this from Yue Song. This was because Yue Song even wanted to take over and let him handle this matter. However, this was Zhang Yansheng's matter. Putting aside the fact that it was inconvenient for Yue Song to know about the cause and effect of this matter, just to put an end to this grudge, Zhang Yansheng had to do it personally no matter what.
Zhang Yansheng said, "He'll sink deeper and deeper. If I say that I don't plan to do it now and want to wait for the future, will you think that I'm too vicious?"
She stared at Yue Song.
Yue Song stroked her hair and told her, "If you're willing to let me handle this matter, I promise that I'll do it more viciously than you. Some things just can't be forgiven or tolerated. Indulging in evil is the same as suppressing good. Tolerating this kind of person will only harm other people. "
Zhang Yansheng held his hand and smiled slightly.
There was nothing more comforting than someone agreeing with your three views and principles.
"What about the other person?" Yue Song wouldn't forget Wang Qian.
He remembered very clearly that on the night of Christmas Eve, Zhang Yansheng was standing on the street with a pale face.
She was a bold and short-tempered girl. She wouldn't be easily frightened. When she mentioned that someone had tried to drug her, her tone was very calm.
She had been attacked by an unexpected malicious intent.
